Dear All, I love reading everyone's stories in Paris at FSH! I am new to the world of H and I have enjoyed and benefited from all the information provided by all of you (especially to a special TPFer - you know who you are!:flowers:) whom I consider as my H 'advisor' and made my Paris trip really special) so I wish to share my FSH story here as well. The folks in this forum are the BEST!!

Last week, I was in Paris and scored my very 1st Kelly in Paris on Valentine's Day! Day 1 in Paris was on Monday morning and we arrived early (around 710am) in CDG. By the time we checked into our hotel, we managed to start queuing at FSH around 945am. DH & I queued separately and that day we didn't score any bags so we went shopping happily elsewhere. Day 2 was Valentine's Day, we queued at around the same time (an hour before opening), this time we queued together at the side door. Our appointment was at 11+am so we shopped inside the store whilst waiting. A pretty SA met us and asked me what I was looking for. I told her Kelly size 28 in neutral colours e.g. Noir, Etoupe... or 2nd choice B30 in same colors. She didn't ask about hardware and I forgot to mention. She went away for close to 10-15min and came with 2 boxes which I knew meant good news! We followed her to a private corner where she showed me my 1st classic neutral K28 in Gold! :heart: She did mention there was also an orange K28 in GHW but I was in :heart: with the neutral gold so I happily took that. The other smaller box was a matching Dogon wallet in Gold which I didn't take. I got a twilly with my K28 that day. Prior to this Kelly bag, I had not purchased anything in any of the H stores as yet. My SA did not write down my requests on paper nor ask for my passport.

That pretty much freed up my remaining days in Paris from the FSH queue (super happy!) and I continued my shopping leisurely at the 3 H stores thereafter...
My overall scores for this Paris trip... a fruitful trip indeed for me this time! Thanks for letting me share... :heart:

Hello all! I read every post in this thread even though I'm a long way from affording a B/K, even in Paris! But I love H and want to reward myself with a new bag. I find mini bags very useful and am thinking of investing in an Evelyne TPM as my first H. Are they hard to get in FSH? (I'm also not sure if they're still sold - online some say it's been discontinued but I've seen recent reveals of TPMs here!) I'm also thinking of purchasing in Rome, if anyone has any info. Thanks so much for your help!

Does anyone know if there is a limit to how many bags you can get there? My mom and I are homing to get an Evelyne Tpm and pm, a picotin and will try our luck for a b and k. Is it better to line up and get 2 appts or is it better to do 1 appt for both of us? TIA!

Get two appointments, and they say 2 bags per person. But I got 3 ! So it depends on your SA. Good luck [emoji1374][emoji1374]

Hopefully I have better luck this time around. Last time I was in Paris (early December), I lined up for 5 days in a row with no luck and all the SA I got weren't helpful. I hope I get as lucky as you this time around! I'll definitely be requesting 2 appts! Thanks for your advice!! [emoji4]

Sorry for what may be a stupid question: do you need to make an appointment and go through the scheduling process if you are only interested in SLGs/non-bag items at the FSH/Sevres stores?
